Smokey Emery ~ Quartz EP

Quartz may be Earth’s most common mineral, but the Quartz EP is anything but common.  Call it tape loop collage, hauntology, plunderphonics, reconstituted classicism or drone, but no matter what the label, consider this release more “smokey” than opaque. Sound artist Daniel
